Established 1899 Our Street Fair Bet ter Than Fair Cattle Fx With poultry and cattle exhibits that surpassed anything in the State, if not in the South, tnis year, and with other departments up to a high degree of perfec tion, the Catawba County Street Fair came to a close. The first day, Wednesday, it rained steadily. The next day the clouds threatened but there was little rain. Friday there wai sunshine. The two last days the crowds were enormous. The wetting which the stock got means that the fair next year will be under roof. The question of securing quarters was dis cussed at a meeting Thursday night and a committee appointed to see if the big barn owned by Mr. J. D. Eliiott, in which the cattle was exhibited this year, can be bought, another st>ty or two added, and the place made the permanent quarters for fu ture fairs, which of course will mean that the free fair will be a thing of the past. The amount of entries was gratifyingly large. In field and garden crops it was 305, a tre-. mendous increase over last year, horses and mules 57, cattle 127, sheep and swine 48, dairy prod ucts 81, horticulture 16, pantry supplies 84, needle and fancy work 121, children's department 31, baby contest 25. boys' judg ing contest 26, poultry 100 entries of 682 birds, making a total of 1,053 entries. Cash premiums were awarded I to the amount of $734.15. The parade on Thursday morn ing was ted by the Hickory Brass band and in ranks were the fire department, automobiles filled with small children, including Mrs. H. D. Abernethy's Kinder garten pupils, district Nos. 8, 13 and 14 of the rural schools, led by their teachers, Miss Peari Setzer, Prof. G. W. Hahn and Prof. Mowser, respectively, and the graded school children, led by Principal Staley, and teachers. The rains doubtless prevented more rural school children from attending. The Dutch College school had 104 children in town but they did not find the rallying place at the Baptist church. Mr. Locke Craig, of Asheville. made an eloquent address at 11 o'clock to a crowded opera house, discussing the opportunities be fore American youth, where all men are born free and equal. Mr. Craig was neatly introduced by Mr. B. B. Blackwelder. One of the most valuable feat ures of the fair was the presence of Mr. W. Gettys, of Athens, Tenn., one of the greatest breed ers of Jerseys in the world, who judged the cattle and made an address at the Chamber of Com merce at night. He said our cat tle exhibit exceeded that at the Slate fair at Macon, Ga., from which he had recently come, and one of the bulls here was supe- rior to two by famous sires which he judged at Macon. He criti cized our stock men for not grooming their cattle and getting them into better shape for exhi bition. The parade of live stock on Friday was splendid. The auc tion sale of live stock followed Mr. England, of Greensboro, was the auctioneer. About SI,OOO was realized for 15 head of cattle and 25 Berkshire pigs. The stock was young and the sale was consid ered satisfactory. In the butter fat contest 15 cows were entered and some yielded as much as two pounds of butter a day. A full report of this will be given later. A grade cow beat the full blooded Jersey 8, and when Mr. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR I A FHE HICKORY DEMOCRAT te and hibits.

It can be proved, t »o, it is said, that the old man aid not "fix" the jury before nand. The baby by the way takes after his mother Mrs. H. P, Lutz won the $25. prize for th t best display of a country household. The Studebaker wagon works had an exceedingly creditable ex hibit in the shape of a moving picture snow, which showed the making of E. M. F. automobiles in various stages. They had tour men on the ground with elaborate .nachinery. Mr. P. G Herman, of Cono ver, was delighted to get the first prize on a pair of French coach colts. His son, Harry, had an excellent exhibit of White Wyandottes and other chickens. John F. Miller, Jr., age 11, drew a first prize of $2.50 for the best driving Shetland pony. He also got a prize for the best writ ten business letter. The Starnes family offered as fair prizes a pig and a bushel of corn.

So sudden that it caused a shock the entire city came the death of Rev. J, C. Moser, D. D., at 12;10 p, m. on Sunday morning. Dr. Moser had arisen at 4 o'clock that morning, com plaining with a pain in the side of his head. Members of the family went to him and in ten minutes he became unconscious and so continued until the end came. He had suffered a stroke of paralysis, A few moments before his death, Rev. Dr. W. A. Deaton was reading his resignation to his Claremont charge, which ill health impelled him to make. The news of his illness spread rapidly throughout the city, ven on the quiet of a Sabbath morning, causing sadness every where. In the Presbyterian church at about 11:30 o'clock a special prayer was offered for hiin by the pastor and the long prayer in every city pulpit con tained a petition in his behalf, Jason Chrysostom Moser was born in Cabarrus county Nov. 18, 1849, his parents being Rev. timothy Moser and Martha He dick Moser. His age was, to be precise, 61 years, 11 months and 25 days. On Dec. 25, 1873, he was most happily married to Miss Eliza beth C. Lee, of Union county, and to them were born four children. Arthur L., Claud A., Virginia and Leslie. All these with their mother survive. (graduating from North Caro lina College with the degree of A. B. on May 29, 1873, young Moser studied theology under his father and was ordained by the Ev. Luth. Tennessee Synod at St. John's church, Lexington, S. C. f Oct. 10, 1876. He served the following pastorates: Mt. Moriah, Rowan county 8 years; Conover 6 years, and Holy Trin ity, this city, 24 years. Dr. Moser was a profound scholar and during his three pastorates he did more or less teaching. At Mt- Moriah he tiught in the Union Academy and Chapel school. At Conover for the whole 6 years he held a professorship in Concordia Col lege, while for the first rive years of his pastorate here he held the chair of Latin and Greek in Lenoir College, of which he was one of the four notable founders, the others being Dr. R. A Yoder and Rev. Messrs. VV. C. Cline and A. L. Crouse. He was as proficient in Hebrew as he was in these other tongues. His scholarly habits led to the building up of a splendid library. No worthy book in theology, from whatever branch of the Protestant church it may have emanated, but what found per manent lodgement upon his bookshelves. The notable new book on Luther which has lately appeared was a source of great delight to this brave leader in th> ranks of the Lutheran hosts. "Dr. Moser counted time," said one of his close friends. He wasted no precious hours in small talk on the street corner. When he finished his business engagements he hastened to his books and reading. He was a master of current events and all the leading magazines u ere on his table. He clung to the high ideals of | the preachers of the older days.! His pastoral visitation was not for the purpose of social ends. It meant reading of the holy scriptures and prayer. A eloquent tribute to his ca pacity and zeal for work is the fact that while at Conover, for three years he supplied the Iredell pastorate, serving 6 dif ferent congregations. Here he also served Zion church. He consumed his life in ceaseless stalks of coru, first winter rye; Dewey Hawn; first head sunflow er seed, first selection and exhibition of ten ears of corn; R- L. Shuford, Jr., fiist ten ears corn for table; W. L. Eck ard, first six buuehes of red pep per, J. Wilfong, second bu. Ful caster wheat and second bale cotton; J. W. Starnes, second I bu. Fulcaster wheat. "I am pleased to recommed Cham berlain's Cough Remedy as the best thing I know of and safest remedy for coughs, colds and bronchial trouble," writes Mrs. L. B.

Democrat and Press, Consolidated i 905 service for his Ma-ter. i The fact that Hickory is a town from which the menace of open saloons is banished is due in j large degree to Dr. Moser. He I was absolutely fearless in his attacks upon these and swung his large and influential congre gation into line against them. As a sermonizer, his friend Dr. Murphy declares he never heard his superior. He never preached an ill-prepared sermon. The autumn of the year and the autumn of his life synchron ized, for 4 'we all do fade as the leaf." And in the fading there was the glory of a finished mission. A splendid tribute to the high esteem in which Dr. Moser was held was the enormous crowd which packed the church and Sunday school room at the fu neral. A fringe of standing men also lined the wall in every direction. People of every de nomination mingled with the Lutherans. The silence which ever pre vails in the presence of death was broken only by the repres sed sound of weeping, and the prattle of a child, in the arms of a grief-stricken mother, which did ncft seem at all out of place, but rather a reminder of the thought so applicable to the noble dead in the casket: "Except ye become as a little child ye shall not enter the kingdom of heav en. " As pure and true as one of these little ones was the soul of the departed one. Pastor Wannamacher's sermon from Matt. 25:21 was a splendid tribute to a worthy laborer in the Master's vineyard. Dr. W. A. Deaton's biographical sketch and his and Rev. C. L. Miller's trib utes to the character and service of the deceased, came from lull hearts and entirely rose to the solemn occasion. The hymns sung were, Lead, Kindly Light; Asleep in Jesus; I Hear the Voice of Jesus Say; Abide with Me, and My Faith Looks up to Thee. The pall bearers were Messrs. Wm. A. Miller, J. A. Moretz, P. C. Setzer, J. G. Cline, F. Deitz, E. D. Yoder, L. Maynard and Dr. K. A. Price. The grave in Oakwood was cov ered with beautiful floral tributes. Death of Mr. M. L. Whitener Malcolm Lee Whitener was born April 15ih, 1890, and fell asleep in Jesus Nov. 13th, 1911, age 21 years, 6 months and 28 days. In infancy he was conse crated hy the Sacrament of holy bap tisim- In his youth he was instructed and confirmed in the Lutheran church by the late Dr. J. C. Moser, who pre ceded him into the heavenly home only a few hours. He was always true to his confirmation vow and ever loyal to the Lutheran church, which he loved and served in any capacity he was asked. On different occasions he served as one of the ushers of the church and was appointed to that office again about three months ago. He was a faithful member of the Sun day School and an active membee of Class 15, known as the "Loyal Sons." He was an obedient son,a good neigh bor, kind to all and ready to serve wherever he could. He was also an active member of the Youne People's Society of Holy Trinity. He will be greatly missed, but our loss is truly his eternal gain in heaven, where he will also shine as one of the stars forever and ever. About four weeks ago he was strick en with Typhoid fever. All that human hands and medical skill could do to pre. serve his life was done, but God willed it otherwise, and His blessed will be done. The burial service took place Tuesday afternoon and was conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. H. Wannemacher and his body was laid to rest in the cemetery of Zion Lutheran church. We are confident that his body will rise again and be crowned with the crown of righteousness, which fadeth not away. The Dall bearers were chosen from his class-mates (the Loyal Sons) and were: Lloyd Hider, Earl Hider, Lee Yount, Freeman Deitz, Donald Ap plegate and H. A. Fulmer. There are left to mourn, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James R. Whitener, three brothers, Alban, Claud and Dallas, three sisters, Pearl, Macie and Maggie Lucin da, his class-mates, the congregation and hosts of relatives and friends. We weep, but not as those having no hope. His PASTOR. Death of Mr. D. P. Miller Mr. D. P. Miller died at his home near St, Timothy church Saturday night after a lingering illness of Typhoid fever. He is survived by a wife and six chil dren. Mr. Miller was the largest strawberry grower in the county. The funeral services were con ducted Monday by his pastor, Rev. F. K. Roof at St. Timothy church. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORI A Mr. Holler's Double Birthday Dinner. Correspondence of the Democrat.

Cole, weave room boss, and Mr. J. L. Leonard were the guest from the Ivey mill. Punctually at 12 o'clock all assembled in the yard of the Ivey Hotel and found a long table spread and loaded down from one end to the other with good things to eat. Dr. Murphy pronounced the bles sing, after which al present par took of the sumptuous meal. Your correspondence had the pleasure of standing between Capt. Cole and Mr. Downum and can truthfully say that we three did full justice in partak ing of the good things set before us and so far as I could see along the line I dont think any one failed to have a good appetite. And then after returning one to father and mother familias for their kindness and also wish ing them they gave another birthday dinner that we might be so lucky as to receive another inyitation, we all returned to our work.
